On a rainy day last month we visitedNatsu‘s bead-filled home studio in Gramercy, where she was putting the finishing touches on her installation “Cradle – Island Universe,” which is on view at Williamsburg’s Black & White Project Space through January 23. L Mag videographer Lou Gruber shot the beautiful installation and interview footage above, wherein Natsu explains that she uses beads like a painter uses paint, but would rather viewers come up with their own associations before hearing her molecular conceptual framework.
